I was recently at a party and a nice woman I met did the following. My cup was full of soda; hers was empty. She leaned over and poured half of mine into hers.

She then said it was a sign of trust that I didn't have any diseases.

I thought it was just wonderful.

Any similar cool mannerisms you've encountered?

This is why I always put rohypnol into my own drink.

You crack me up. (I still have the phrase "chocolatey pillow fight" burned into my brain.)

I'm trying to imagine pulling that one off. (Assuming I wasn't married and the sort to take social risks.)

Me, taking drink: "Do you mind?"
Her, as I pour: "Um, y-...whatever."
Me, handing drink back: "This is a sign of trust. *wink* That you don't have any diseases."
[the following are the three most likely branches of this scenario]

[A]
Her: <10 seconds of silence>
Her: "I'm trying to figure out whether you think I look likely to have diseases, or whether you think that it's likely that we're going to be doing anything else where that'd be important. Well? Was the insult that I'm diseased looking, or easy looking?"

[B]
Her, handing back half empty drink: "Sorry, I don't think I have the same degree of trust. I'm going to wash this hand now."

[C]
Her, after waiting for me to take a sip: "I have diseases. Do you want to know what they are?"

Looking at the original post, yes, it does sound salacious. But I assure you that it was with a much older, family friend whom I already knew.

sfbum, I think B & C are by far the most likely.

Personally, I vote for B.

I thought it was so you could imagine something happened when you woke up the next morning...

[B] sounds like something straight out of xkcd. Seriously. Actually, so does [C]. Is that you, Randall?

You should have pushed it a step further and swapped glasses with her then said, "Now the trust is mutual."

I don't know how many times I've said to my wife when she doesn't want to share drinks, "You kiss me all the time!" Obviously if you get the drink trust thing down the kissing must soon follow.

Mike's right, it does sound like xkcd. [Smile]

Me, I'd take her cup, pour everything back and say: "I trust you too." You don't mess with my coke.

Yep. For now, at least, paper can not handle the mouseover event.

A cousin introduced me over the summer, and we sat on the deck at a family function going through comics, laughing while everyone else present was clueless. Great bonding experience. [Wink]

Edit: That's deinitely cool.

Yup.

(To clarify, this is more a comment on the attitude that success for a comic is equivalent to getting syndicated, and less about lobo's appreciation of the comic itself.)

Oh, I know I'm getting old, but I'm fine with that.
